Toronto’s Common Deer, an 80s-inspired modern synth-pop band composed of two sets of siblings, has delivered its first full-length album, MAXIMALIST , that tackles a range of raw and honest themes: mental health, abuse, addiction, sexism, and obsession. The four piece, managed by Jake Gold (The Tragically Hip), experienced a considerable evolution since forming in Guelph in 2014, and releasing its first recorded music, two EPs in 2017, titled I and II. Their songs racked up over a million streams on Spotify, landed multiple tracks on CBC Radio 2’s top 20, and facilitated extensive touring of Canada and the U.S. through much of 2018.
